New Tires
Need a new set of tires for the Pajero and would likr to limit it to $300 per tire. What would be the best for the $? Plan on doing road, mud, sand and rocks so I need a good all round tire. I know there is alot of info out there, trying not to make the same mistakes that others have made.
Was looking at 32x11.5-16 Pitbull Growler 4wd Mud or 31/10.5R15 Kumho KL71 MT.
Cheers

Re: New Tires
i have a set of 305/70r16 kl71s for sale wanting $350 each. these are equivalent to a 33. i have found them to be excellent on round and go bloody well of road. only selling to go bigger
Re: New Tires
Ive just bought some 33" Goodyear Wranglers. 5 of them cost me $1800.00 all up including fitting balancing and wheel alignment. Good option if you can stretch a bit further 

1986 2.5L TD Pajero
Re: New Tires
Thanks for the info so far. Will have to crank the torsion bars on the Paj to get 33's to fit and not sure I want to go that big on this truck, will be looking for a SWB variety down the road sometime so will set that one up more heavy duty the this one, the LWB needs to hold me for now.
